      This of which you speak, the nostalgic "6 shooter", is a revolver.

      Eight rounds, on target, with a revolver: one second.

          wouldn't even make national news in the US, let alone be reported internationally.

            Great call. Why is this not already in place?

              guns are not registered like cars. This is in my fantasy world where they have to be.

                And I would guess many more guns are floating around illegally than are cars.

                Edit: Now a conservative might argue - why are we so concerned with illegal guns and not illegal immigrants? They would have a point - we should adhere to laws on illegal immigrants as well.

                But the existence of illegal immigrants actually does help this country and its citizens by playing an important role in society...by performing jobs many won't and by keeping the prices of many products low. The presence of illegal guns just makes for more risk of homicides and difficulty in punishing those crimes. That's where the difference lies.

                  A lot of gun owners worry the government would do nefarious things with a list like that. Some states have them already.

                    Never understood this mentality. Its the same as I don't want the government watching the websites I'm visiting. Like the CIA is sitting around laughing about the websites Drew S is visiting or something. If there were lots of governmental shenanigans with information...there would be many court cases popping up and lots of press to accompany them. The government just does not use this kind of info unless major crimes necessitate it - why should all that change literally tomorrow?

                      Well say no more. We don't want to worry gun owners. Poor little snowflakes.

                          When guns are initially sold new, or resold by a licensed dealer, they are "registered" using the ATF firearms form. The priimary problem with the forms is they simply go into the ATF and are filed away in the basement. There is no searchable database of those forms, by law. If, for instance, someone wanted to find out how many guns BassAle may have purchased, or what types, you'd have to do a hand search of the forms.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            If there were no illegal immigrants, those jobs they have would be difficult to fill at those wages. So employers would have to raise wages, say to a "livable wage." Huh. Imagine someone working at McDonald's for, I dunno, $15/hr? Someone should get to work on that.


                            Oh yeah, right.

                              I think a lot of it is because of JFK and 9/11. An even better example is Pat Tillman's death. The government flat out lied about what happened and potentially covered up something sinister(or it might have been complete incompetence.) I personally don't care if the government tracks what I do online or what I have for guns. I can see where people would be uneasy with it though.
